Many music education curriculums incorporate the usage of mathematical skills as well fluid usage and understanding of a secondary language or culture. Music education touches on all learning domains, including the psychomotor domain (the development of skills), the cognitive domain (the acquisition of knowledge), and, in particular and the affective domain (the learner's willingness to receive, internalize, and share what is learned), including music appreciation and sensitivity. Music education scholars publish their findings in peer-reviewed journals, and teach undergraduate and graduate education students at university education or music schools, who are training to become music teachers.
Music education is also a research area in which scholars do original research on ways of teaching and learning music. Music education is a field of practice in which educators are trained for careers as elementary or secondary music teachers, school or music conservatory ensemble directors. A German kindergarten teacher instructs her pupils in singing.
